Reviews
"Access Your Drive and Enjoy the Ride is fun, practical, and no-nonsense. It's the embodiment of Lolo in a book. It's inspiring but not inspo porn, a book that makes you dust off your own dreams and get to work, without insisting you become a 'sloppy copy' of her."-Stephanie Thomas, TEDx Speaker and founder, stylist, and editor-in-chief of the disability fashion lifestyle website, CUR8ABLE
